Ashley and Lucas - THE MEETING

 Ashley was sitting on a rock peacefully
In a blue dress with a bouquet of lilies

The god she loved, found his mistress 
To be the one to help him in distress 

So he gave Ash a bouquet of lilies
To bid her goodbye

She wished him luck and happiness
And they parted their ways with no bitterness

Now she sat there, content
Devouring each feature of nature to all its extent 

Somehow everything was grey
The mist that hung over the beach astray

The ocean that advanced towards her feet
Grey with white foams, receded back in retreat 

The grey clouds stretched till the horizon
As pleasant as comfortable silence

The grey weather was melancholic
And the pine scent was exotic 

She was staring blankly towards the sea
She does that a lot lately

The waves crashing towards the shore
Made her want to go out there to explore

She saw someone walking down the beach
Though far away, he was a god from Greece 

Walked towards her barefoot
As though was there just to allude 

His hair black and wet hanging in his eyes
A cherry smile that forced you to oblige 

It seemed that he was in of her awe too
His surroundings were grey and her aura screamed blue

And the mystery about her just drew him towards her
She became clear as he moved nearer

Her expression showed that she cared
But he could also read that she was scarred 

Not physically, but by the depth of loneliness and misunderstandings
He felt like approaching 

"Hello miss, may I know your name?"
"It's Ashley" she claimed 

"May i know yours?" She asked
"Lucas" he replied fast 

She slid and patted the seat empty
He looked at her with eyes filled with empathy 

She didn't know this man
And their feet touched in the sand

All she could feel was safe
And he couldn't stop looking at her eyeshade

They both asked each other's sorrows
They could feel their lonely hollows 

Lucas looked at her and said
"I was in the wrong hands" 

She told him her grief
And he held her hand with a reassuring grip

She leaned into his shoulder for comfort
But instead found peace from the whole world 

He felt safe holding her, even to fall
And he felt content, above all 

They looked at each other with utmost bliss
And next thing they know, they connected their lips 

Drowning in the passion and peace
They slowly broke their kiss 

Stared into each other's eyes and soul
Absorbing each other whole

"Let's run away together, Ash
Away from all this crap" said Lucas 

"Let's go to the sea to explore
There's nothing on land for us to see more" 

And just like that they pulled a boat from a cove
Pushed it into the sea with a shove

Held hands together and hopped into something unknown
Running away from the world together, but alone 

The way their fates flew together
Created bonds forever

And just like that Lucas and Ashley sailed into the sunset
The skies blue and pink, as if to celebrate

True love is indeed found one day
Believe your lover is on their way 

On a horse, in a boat or in a car
But I believe that day isn't far

Till then make the most of your life
Keep finding your way through the strife 

Who knows when you'll meet someone you only want more
And that experience won't be any like before
